Which mirrors do you prefer and why?

debating getting tow mirrors, which do you prefer?
any reasons why?

 

I prefer the looks of tow mirrors (which is of course subjective), plus the obvious benefits if you tow.

 

yeah i had them on my chevy, i do tow 2 different trailers a handful of times a month but not super large. my biggest one is 5 x 12 enclosed trailer, and these tiny mirrors are killing me lol

 

I like the way my stockers look, and I don't need anything more for the things I tow. Plus it's nice not having to fold in my giant mirrors on the tight trails I tend to find myself on. The tow mirrors also tend to always be right in the way of something I need to see, causing a blind spot. Only experienced them on other trucks though, but I would assume the tundra has the same issue. Really depends on what you do most with your truck

 

I like the look of the tow mirrors better

I wish they came with power fold though and also BSMS

I have a Platinum and don't wanna lose any function of my mirrors, memory I guess I could deal without but not power fold at this point I use them all the time

Also I have a stone wall on one side of my driveway and a giant oak tree on the other, if I hug the wall I have about 8 inches clearance from the tree with my small mirrors, tows would be sketchy for me. Cutting the tree down is about $3k, some day it will go though, need to save up some cash though maybe by then someone will make "platinum" tow mirrors

 

I prefer tow mirrors that telescope outward vs the style that pivot into the towing position. I had a 2003 Dodge Ram with pivoting tow mirrors and you have to completely readjust the mirrors every time you use them to tow. Heat and power adjust are nice features. I wish Toyota offered a tow mirror with blindspot system for my 18 limited.

 

thats the only thing stopping me is the blind spot...but i was used to it on my chevy, this truck has more blind spots. i wanna get the tow mirrors so i can see my blindspot, creating another blindspot in the process

 

i believe the OEM toyota style are like that. these are the ones i had on my chevy, they do make em for tundras. debating between these but i think i like the OEM ones better.

Mine are A1 tow mirrors with smoked lenses. I like them but sometimes out hunting and what not they do stick out a bit far on some of the roads or trails

 

damn i really like those! whered you get em? and were they plug and play?

same color truck as mine! looks almost the same!

MGM 2nd gens hold a special place in my heart. your my new bro

 

I had tow mirrors on my '07 and always wanted the smaller mirrors. The tow mirrors create blind spots at 11 and 2 o'clock. The 11 o'clock caused me to not see a pedestrian one time. (after her reaction, I'm almost sorry I did see her)
Now I've got the small mirrors and want the tow mirrors 'cause the grass is always greener.

 

These mirrors are from A1 Auto. They are a little cheaper than the oem ones. And yes they are plug and play. They came with amber side lenses and the smoked Greg ones so I just swapped them out. They are LED lights. Lol mine is a 15 but yes mgm is nice

 

thats what im affraid of lol i think i would sacrafice my 11 and 2 to see behind me better. theres hella blindspots even when im not pulling a trailer

 

thing looks awesome man! and yeah from the original shot you posted it looks almost identical. defintley a 3rd gen though, really nice!

 

I like the mirrors @Muleycrazy13 has. Those look BA. And, you can get those with BSM. I think I'd get tow mirrors again if it weren't for the tight trails I've been frequenting lately.

 

yeah thats a sick truck all around i do like those mirrors i also kinda like the large ones similar to an american truck like this (minus the chrome for me) https://www.ebay.com/itm/Power-Heat...a/232844968515?hash=item3636a44243:rk:15f:0

 

Has anyone hooked up the above mirrors and had issues gettin the turn signal on the front to work? I just mounted them and for some reason that front amber signal/marker light doesn’t light up at all

 

Supposed to be plug and play. Unfortunately I'm not sure but please keep me posted as I plan on getting them

 

I spend most of my time looking out my rigs mirrors.
Its awkward driving with small mirrors for me. Tow mirrors for me.
